About: I have helped care for dogs as small as Cavapoo puppies to full grown German Shepherds. I grew up with Staffordshire bull terriers and a Cavalier, so have experience of a variety of breeds and their different needs. I regularly walk around parks and canals, having a dog for company is mutually beneficial. I can accommodate to your dog's needs, whether that is frequent short walks or less frequent long treks. I have cared for puppies in house through puppy training, obedience training, and play, always to the instructions of the owner. I will follow your instructions for the best care of your family pet. I appreciate how important your dog is to you and your family and will treat them with the care and respect all animals deserve. I work full time, 9-5 in Dumfries (Annan from July 2025). I am able to walk dogs before work and in the evening, complete check-ins or over night care within commuting distance of work. If you are local to my work, I may also be able to help with lunch time visits but this will need discussing. I will follow any instructions you give when pet sitting at your home. If you have pets that can be escape artists, I will make sure to pay extra attention to doors/ windows. I will also respect your home, keep it clean and ensure your pets are happy while you are away.

“I am an overprotective bouncy spaniel mummy and as such I am loathed to trust just anyone with Jasper's care. Kirsty provides Jasper with a loving home from home which he loves , she also caters for his boundless energy and love of many, many walks. Kirsty makes Jasper's care and security as a priority, therefore making me feel relaxed leaving him in her care. We rate her service so highly that we travel from our home near Edinburgh to leave him with her. Happy doggy = happy doggy mummy = relaxed holiday Job done xx”

About: I have been a dog owner for over 20 years. Mainly spaniels, max 2 at a time. Can walk sit or board like minded dogs. Archie my show cocker spaniel likes to meet new friends. Mainly kept on a lead, unless otherwise told. Treats only when earned after walk or at a heal when called back. Hope this helps. Ask if need more reassurance, happy to comply with whatever owner wishes. I,m now 3 months in to my new life in the Southwest country and loving every minute. Plenty of walking areas for small to large dogs. House and garden routine is settling in and working smoothly, but not set in stone. Remaining flexible for the Occupants ha. Daily walks, checks everything is working routine wise. Weekly inspection of teeth for anything that shouldn't be there. Checking of legs, feet and body for any bumps that shouldn't be there either.. I have a fenced off large garden in two parts for keeping dogs apart if need be. Area is open and free for a good stretch in the mornings if dogs don't want to walk quite yet ha. The area is cleaned daily and waste disposed of correctly.


7. Shreyas R.
“Shreyas is an amazing pet caregiver! He took care of my male Persian cat with such gentleness and care, and it was clear my cat enjoyed his company. His compassion shines through in everything he does, even stopping to play with strays while out on walks. Shreyas truly has a way with animals and treats them with the love they deserve. Highly recommend!”


8. Rebecca S.
“Becci is a trustworthy pet sitter, she often looks after my dog, who always comes home content and tired out. She is an active person always taking the dogs long walks. She is very caring, making sure my dog gets lots of cuddles and love. You can be sure your dog will be well cared for when you chose her to dog sit for you.”
